Re: Android Native Button

Looking at the code for the android field, it is probably a bug. In that code the type is optional pointer and a check is done that a pointer was returned. That check is not done for the button. Are you sure the font being specified is valid? I have not done anything android, so this is just a

Right. That is because the Mac drive is accessed over a network drive in that scenario. The Windows installer won’t work on a network drive. — Trevor DeVore On Mon, Apr 2, 2018 at 9:46 PM Peter Bogdanoff via use-livecode < use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > Also, if you’re using something

Sounds like you are trying to install on Windows when the installer is on a network drive. Try copying the installer to the Windows machine. — Trevor DeVore On Mon, Apr 2, 2018 at 4:54 PM Bob Sneidar via use-livecode < use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > Livecode Installer // Installation

Re: Value & parentheses when doing math

The second one is more readable. The third is unnecessary. The first works just fine. It just depends on how readable you want to make your code for others. I always take the time to put values into their own variables so I can point at them in the debugger and see their current values in the

Thanks for all the suggestions, but blur works really well. I just take a snapshot of the field, blur the resultant image, overlay it on the confidential field, snapshot the entire card to clipboard and then delete the blurred image. I had to manually include it in the standalone, though,
